New Mastersounds, The

102% [Electronic / Dance]

RELEASE: 26.01.2007

LABEL: One Note Records

VERTRIEB: Groove Attack

"102%" is the fifth long-player from international underground funk heroes The New Mastersounds. Featuring special guest sax and flute player Rob Lavers, the album delivers the band's trademark dirty funk sound in spades, along with sprinklings of soul-jazz, breaks and beats, laid-back hip hop, and even psychedelic blues-rock.
No vocals, just the guys tearing it up and doing what they do best, under the supervision of prolific hawk-eared guitarist-producer Eddie Roberts.

It's all their own work apart from one tune – an insane version of the Roots Manuva hit "Witness", done out with chicken-scratch guitar, super heavy bass, screaming Hammond and slamming drums.
